Never heard of tomato sauce being used to clean jewellery. Common sense would surely suggest this is not a good idea.

What an expensive way to stop your laundry from being smelly. Nothing wrong with hanging it on the clothesline in the fresh air and sunshine, works a treat. Much cheaper too. Good exercise and good dose of sunshine into the bargain. Win win all round.

Another scare mongering story, how any of us have lived long enough to become seniors I don’t know.

I’m sure there is enough for them all to get a share and become very wealthy so why waste money fighting over anything. The only winners will be the legal people who no doubt are waiting in the wings already to jump on the money wagon by encouraging the family to fight over the estate.

Any research that leads to improved quality of life has to be good. Far better to have shorter quality life than to have quantity of life that has no quality to it. This is my opinion and what I would prefer given a choice.

I have a few old books from a friends estate that give all sorts of good advice for women, housewives, mothers from the earlier part of the 1900s. It gives me a good laugh when I find time to read a few pages from them. My granddaughters are astounded at what was expected from women back then. I...

It will be interesting to see how many people continue to use this service after the novelty wears off and how many revert to driving their cars. It’s a pity the government aren’t as concerned about spending some of the money they scoop in from rural taxpayers on improving public transport in...

What is the government doing about the power companies ripping off their customers, especially if there are solar panels involved. A big fat nothing, governments seem to be happiest when they or anyone else are ripping off the general population. I’m sure it is part of the overall plan to push...

Definitely not worth having for the credits we get paid from our supplier, but because we also have a battery we save big on our bill. Time the government legislated energy companies to pay just short of what they charge for power for the feed in credits they get from customers with solar. They...

Don’t have a dishwasher, decided not to have one when we built this home in 1996. I just hand wash dishes, leave on rack and cover with a tablecloth and leave til morning, they are nice and dry to put away. I only wash up at night, all dishes from the day. Sometimes a big wash up, sometimes a...

I’m sure we have lots of toys, as well as a lot of really old English china items, dinner sets, cake plates, tea sets, vases etc that would be worth money as collectables. Just need the time to sort them out and start listing them. Our daughter has a massive Star Wars collection bought over many...

I think it will lead to more theft. Unless there is some way for it to recognise people are putting things in their trolley they haven’t scanned there will be a lot of items not paid for. Not every item in supermarkets has a security code that beeps as customers leave the store if it hasn’t been...

I read that you can’t weight fresh produce on it so will still have to go through some sort of checkout to do that.

Probably not, after all most supermarkets are trying to get rid of cash checkouts, just look at the number of card only checkouts in stores now.

What a wonderful service, let’s hope it saves many more lives. How great it is to have emergency trained people willing to respond to the call for assistance if they are close enough to help.

I still have a dripping container, don’t use dripping anymore but use it for my cooking oil I use for baked dinners. When we were kids we ate dripping on bread and everything was cooked in dripping, roast vegies, meats, chips etc. we always saved the fat that came off any meats we cooked and...
